Project 1: Flower Power Dress
This is my first official project! I bought this dress at Saver's for a grand total of $3.50.

I can't decide if this was a church dress or a pioneer dress with shoulder pads. No matter how you look at it, this dress needs some serious help! The print is cute, but such tiny flowers on sooo much dress is never good. Between the shoulder pads, awkward sleeves, and horrid length, I couldn't wait to give this dress an extreme makeover!

Step 1: REMOVE THE SHOULDER PADS!

Step 2: Get rid of all that fabric

Step 3: Take it in 3 1/2 "  on each side

Step 4: De-Sleeve this bad boy

Step 5: Add on a little extra fabric to the bottom... I got a little carried away in step 2. Luckily I saved the chopped pieces and used the original hem so I didn't have to hem it myself!

The finished product! This new summery dress is ready for everything from free summer concerts to Sunday church!
